Dave Spade helps police buy guns
December 24, 2008
Former Phoenix resident David Spade says he donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to help them do their jobs.
As a result of Spade’s donation, police will be armed with 50 AR-15 high-powered rifles, FoxNews.com reports. The weapons are necessary to help combat Mexican drug cartels infiltrating the city.
These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help,
Spade said via his publicist, FoxNews.com said.
Spade was reportedly spurred to action by Fox News TV report that said police officers — overwhelmed by criminals from across the border — were looking to buy their own high-powered weapons.
Phoenix police spokesmen said Spade’s gift will raise the department’s cache of such weapons to 300.
